Selected Papers from the 7th World Conference on Qualitative Research

Dear Colleagues,

The World Conference on Qualitative Research (WCQR) is an important international discussion forum that sheds light on the challenges and opportunities in the field of qualitative research, and we are excited to welcome submissions from the 7th conference held from 25th to 27th January 2023.

The research in this Special Issue can be from two of the four fields of application from the conference:

1. Qualitative Research in Education (emphasis on the processes of research in various areas of higher education, basic education, assessment, curriculum, teaching, teaching science, languages, history, technology, etc.).
2. Qualitative Research in Social Science (emphasis on the processes of research in the fields of administration, anthropology, arts, political science, communication, economics, management, humanities, linguistics, marketing, psychology, sociology, etc.).

All forms of qualitative research methods are welcome for the submission of:

1. Fundamentals (e.g. theoretical studies, literature reviews, mixed methods).
2. Operationalizing (e.g. content analysis, thematic analysis, narrative analysis, virtual ethnography).

In collaboration with Social Sciences, the authors of high-quality papers from the conference will be invited to submit articles, extending the presented research in this dedicated Special Issue.
